So, today, I am pleased to continue that long tradition, with pictures of one of the most weird bollards I've ever seen.
The pictures don't really do it justice, so some explanation, to give a sense of scale, is in order. The bollard is placed to prevent vehicle access to a bridge. The main platform of the bridge is about 8 feet across, and the side walls about 5 feet tall. The 'normal' handrails show how much higher the bridge sides are!
It's not just the 'outline' shape that intrigued me, but the 'fluting' down one side. It's a piece of art masquerading as a bollard, hidden down a footpath where (relatively) few people will see, and even less appreciate, it.
So, ladies and gentleman, the bollard!
